[QUOTE="Riri, post: 365409, member: 32297"] I think the analogy to Sunday lunch is not really fair. At home everyone can chose what they want to eat - no external pressure. This is a group environment where the whole purpose of the visit will be chocolate tasting. I go to pubs and eat out but if my best friend chose a full-on boozy weekend in Blackpool as a hen weekend that would be difficult as I would not want to go crazy with alcohol and with the best will in the world I would then feel left out. If those of us who have T1 diabetes can't understand how these situations can be difficult for some of us (not all granted) then we have little hope of expecting others to begin to understand how certain situations can affect us physically and mentally in a very big way. It's like everything in life though - people differ greatly and everyone's comfort zone is set to a different level. [/QUOTE]
